@Milo - I'm not sure I understand your complaint as I find it pretty easy to customize Thesis. And with the latest release of version 1.2, there are even more admin options available that don't required you to do anything more than check boxes or select items from a drop-down list. I've added a post about this to my Thesis Theme blog here:

Thesis Theme 1.2 Revealed

Let me know what you think, and if you are still having trouble with Thesis. Most people seem to think it is far easier to work with than any other WordPress theme.

I agree with you on the hooks everywhere. I have bought the developer's theme and the design panel left a lot to be desired and the way it was coded made it difficult to edit thesis compared to most themes where it only features less than 10 files. I haven't used and deployed thesis yet and I bought it because of the discount and free lifetime upgrades. :)

Thesis had so many php, classes, functions, etc. that only an advanced php programmer can make edits to one satisfaction.

I have suggested sdk, manuals, etc. to help tinkering with thesis and hopefully thesis improves to that point.

The latest version that Chris just release has even more options now. I put some screen shots of the admin page here:

He's made it much easier to change the fonts, number of columns, column widths, etc. I think we'll start seeing a lot more variety in how people customize the Thesis Theme for their particular blog or website.
